Reduce emissions as much as possible

When you calculate your climate footprint, you identify the
causes and sources of your emissions, as well as opportunities to
reduce these emissions. Taking those opportunities is your second step in taking action.

Offsetting projects are located in developing countries that
often cannot afford to reduce emissions on their own. Your contribution helps these projects to continue reducing emissions. In addition, many projects also contribute to sustainable
development priorities such as education and health improvements in
the communities that host them.

Some also offer substantial additional environmental benefits such as
improved air and water quality or protection of biodiversity. The sale of
climate credits generates local income and supports economic growth in poor
communities.​
